Absorption of acoustic wave propagation in a large variety of lossy media is characterized by an empirical power law function of frequency, 0j!j y . It has long been noted that the exponent y ranges from 0 to 2 for diverse media. Recently, the present author [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 115 (2004) 1424] developed a fractional Laplacian wave equation to accurately model the power law dissipation, which ...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a “calculus” on graphs that allows graph theory to have new connections to analysis. For example, our framework gives rise to many new partial differential equations on graphs, most notably a new (Laplacian based) wave equation (see [FTa, FTc]); this wave equation gives rise to a partial improvement on the Chung-Faber-Manteuffel diameter/eigenvalue bound ...

This study makes the first attempt to use the 2/3-order fractional Laplacian modeling of Kolmogorov -5/3 scaling of fully developed turbulence and enhanced diffusing movements of random turbulent particles. A combined effect of inertial interactions induced diffusivity and the molecular Brownian diffusivity is considered the bi-fractal mechanism behind multifractal scaling of moderate Reynolds ...

in this paper, we try to find a particular combination of wavelet shrinkage and nonlinear diffusion for noise removal in dental images. we selected the wavelet diffusion and modified its automatic threshold selection by proposing new models for speckle related modulus. the laplacian mixture model and circular symmetric laplacian mixture models were evaluated and as it could be expected, the lat...

‎Let $G$ be a graph without an isolated vertex‎, ‎the normalized Laplacian matrix $tilde{mathcal{L}}(G)$‎ ‎is defined as $tilde{mathcal{L}}(G)=mathcal{D}^{-frac{1}{2}}mathcal{L}(G)mathcal{D}^{-frac{1}{2}}$‎, where ‎$mathcal{D}$ ‎is a‎ diagonal matrix whose entries are degree of ‎vertices ‎‎of ‎$‎G‎$‎‎. ‎The eigenvalues of‎ $tilde{mathcal{L}}(G)$ are ‎called as ‎the ‎normalized Laplacian eigenva...

The main goal of this paper is to develop a “wave equation” for graphs that is very similar to the wave equation utt = ∆u in analysis. Whenever this type of wave equation is involved in a result in analysis, our graph theoretic wave equation seems likely to provide the tool to link the result in analysis to an analogous result in graph theory. Traditional graph theory defines a Laplacian, ∆, as...

We propose two numerical methods for accelerating the convergence of the standard fixed point method associated with a nonlinear and/or degenerate elliptic partial differential equation. The first method is linearly stable, while the second is provably convergent in the viscosity solution sense. In practice, the methods converge at a nearly linear complexity in terms of the number of iterations...

In this paper, the authors consider both the forced and unforced versions of a second order nonlinear differential equation with a p-Laplacian. They give sufficient conditions as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for the unforced equation to be of the strong nonlinear limit-circle type, and they give sufficient conditions for the forced equation to be of the strong nonlinear limit-cir...

This paper concerns the study of asymptotic behavior solutions to a family fractional type problems on bounded domain, satisfying homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The differential operators includes $$p_n$$ -Laplacian when $$p_n\rightarrow \infty $$ as particular case, tough it could be extended function Hölder quotient order s, whose primitive is an Orlicz appropriated growth limit e...
